PIC240.241D Installation Manual
Product Description
The PIC240.241D is a DIN-rail mountable single-phase-input power supply, which provides a
floating, stabilized and galvanically separated SELV/PELV output voltage.
Intended Use
This device is designed for installation in an enclosure and is intended for commercial use, such as
in industrial control, process control, monitoring and measurement equipment or the like. Do not use
this device in equipment where malfunction may cause severe personal injury or threaten human
life.
Installation Instructions
Install device in an enclosure providing protection against electrical, mechanical and fire hazards.
Install the device onto a DIN-rail according to EN 60715 with the input terminals on the bottom of the
device.
Make sure that the wiring is correct by following all local and national codes. Use appropriate copper
cables that are designed for a minimum operating temperature of 60°C for ambient temperatures up
to +45°C, 75°C for ambient temperatures up to +60°C and 90°C for ambient temperatures up to
+70°C. Ensure that all strands of a stranded wire enter the terminal connection.
Unused screw terminals should be securely tightened.
The device is designed for pollution degree 2 areas in controlled environments. No condensation or
frost is allowed.
The enclosure of the device provides a degree of protection of IP20. The enclosure does not provide
protection against spilled liquids.
The isolation of the device is designed to withstand impulse voltages of overvoltage category III
according to IEC 60664-1. Above 2000m the overvoltage category is reduced to level II.
The device is designed as “Class of Protection” I equipment according to IEC 61140.
Do not use without a proper PE (Protective Earth) connection.
The device is suitable to be supplied from TN, TT or IT mains networks. The continuous voltage
between the input terminal and the PE potential must not exceed 300Vac.
A disconnecting means shall be provided for the input of the device.
The device is designed for convection cooling and does not require an external fan. Do not obstruct
airflow and do not cover ventilation grid!
The device is designed for altitudes up to 6000m (19685ft). See additional requirements in the
product datasheet for use above 2000m (6560ft).
Keep the following minimum installation clearances: 40mm on top, 20mm on the bottom, 5mm left
and right side. Increase the 5mm to 15mm in case the adjacent device is a heat source. When the
device is permanently loaded with less than 50%, the 5mm can be reduced to zero.
The device is designed, tested and approved for branch circuits up to 32A (IEC) and 30A (UL)
without additional protection device. If an external fuse is utilized, do not use circuit breakers smaller
than 10A B- or 6A C-Characteristic to avoid a nuisance tripping of the circuit breaker.
The maximum surrounding air temperature is +70°C (+158°F). The operational temperature is the
same as the ambient or surrounding air temperature and is defined 2cm below the device.
The device is designed to operate in areas between 5% and 95% relative humidity.
Functional Description
The output is electronically protected against no-load, overload and short circuit and can supply any
kind of loads, including unlimited inductive loads and capacitive loads. If capacitors with a
capacitance >2F are connected, the unit might charge the capacitor in an intermittent mode.
Do not apply return voltages from the load to the output terminals higher than 35V.
The output voltage can be adjusted with a small flat-blade screwdriver on the front of the unit.
The green DC-OK LED reports an output voltage above 18V of a running device.
The DC-OK relay monitors the output voltage of a running device. The contact is closed when the
output voltage is above 21.4V. Contact ratings: 60Vdc 0.3A, 30Vdc 1A, 30Vac 0.5A for resistive
loads.
The device is equipped with an over-temperature protection. In case of a high temperature, the
output shuts down and starts automatically again after cooling off.
At heavy overloads (when output voltage falls below 13V), the device delivers continuous output
current for 3-5s. After this, the output is switched off for 7s before a new start attempt with 1s is
automatically performed. This cycle is repeated as long as the overload exists.
Do not parallel devices for higher output currents.
Same devices can be connected in series for higher output voltages. It is allowed to connect as
many devices in series as needed, providing the sum of the output voltage does not exceed
150Vdc.
In case of an internal defect, a redundant circuit limits the maximum output voltage to 32V. The
output shuts down and automatically attempts to restart.
